just a few days ago, mark zuckerbergpresented the news of Goal to promote the development of metaversehighlighting the mixed reality viewer quest-pro. This technology, in which he has invested billions of dollars, has already cost him half of his fortune, and he is still betting on it. However, it seems that the company’s workers, including the developers themselves, are not enthusiastic about the virtual universe and avoid entering it.
The Meta CEO you want your employees to be the first to try, adopt, and populate your virtual world platforms. Therefore, a few months ago the company implemented weekly meetings in Horizon Workrooms, your virtual office application. Thanks to this dynamic, the company discovered several problems, according to a report from New York Times.
The first was that “many” of Meta’s employees did not have a virtual reality headset made by the company. Just as many did have a Quest helmet, but had not set it up for use.

But there is an even more worrying statistic. Of 1,000 Meta employees surveyed by the Blind social network, 42% said they did not understand the company’s “metaverse strategy”. Interestingly, the CEO of Apple, Tim Cookhe also believes that people do not understand the concept and that is why his company will not use the term.
In early October, Metaverse’s Vice President of Meta, Vishhal Shahadmitted that the platform had several flaws and ordered a “quality lock” until they were resolved.
“The stability issues and bugs make it too difficult for our community to experience the magic of Horizon,” he said.TheVerge.
Shah also commented that even the platform’s developers don’t seem to use it very often. This could be one of the reasons why they are not detecting and fixing problems faster.
“A lot of us don’t spend that much time on Horizon and our internal test boards show that pretty clearly,” the senior executive said.
“Why don’t we love the product we’ve built enough to use it all the time? The simple truth is, if we don’t love it, how can we expect our users to love it?” she added.
“Everyone in this organization should make it their mission to fall in love with Horizon Worlds. You can’t do that without using it. Get in there. Organize moments to do it with your colleagues or friends, both in internal builds and in public builds so that you can interact with our community, ”Shah concluded according to the report.
The meta metaverse isn’t the only one lacking virtual visitors. According to a portal report CoinDeskthe platform Decentralandwith a value of 1.2 billion dollars, has only 38 active users per day, although the methodology to obtain this figure is highly questionable.
